Renting a car is a great way to explore Malta, especially if staying in Mellieħa, Żurrieq, or Marsaxlokk, where buses are less frequent.
Malta drives on the left-hand side, and roads can be narrow, so confident driving is recommended.
Parking in Valletta and Sliema can be difficult, so plan accordingly.
💡 Tip: If renting a car, consider getting a small vehicle for easier parking and maneuverability.
